I am trying to migrate content from a D6 to D8 site. Both are running locally with Acquia DevDesktop. On the upgrade page it is asking for the database credentials for the source site. The settings.php site lists this for the credentials:

$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename';

So in the four fields I enter:

Database host: localhost
Database name: databasename
Database username: username
Database password:password

Next field I entered the path to the local site directory

After pressing the "Review Upgrade" button, I get the following error:

Resolve the issue below to continue the upgrade.
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

I've tried using 127.0.0.1 for the host, which made no difference.

Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks!
Brian

I will also tty soon but as drupal 8 has millions bugs i wonder if its not too early.

Migrating to wordpress seems a lot easier !
